My place is close to Dutch Flat, Gold Run, Rollins Lake, Colfax, Boreal and Sugarbowl Ski Resorts, and Interstate 80. You’ll love my place because it's a 1,000 sq ft. Fairy Tale Cottage with charming details (rock fireplace japanese soaker tub, etc.....) in a beautiful forested acreage with easy 1 mile access to I-80, at elevation 4,000' in the Sierra Nevada, close to lakes and ski hills. A lovely, cozy and tranquil retreat. . My place is good for couples, families, and pets.

Nice cabin on my way from Bay Area to soda springs ski resort. Suzan stayed very late to greet us. My kids and I walked around in the woods and it was great!

Jian2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

Suzan's place is the perfect getaway place and it is close to the snowy mountain. The cottage was perfect and beautiful and very comfortable. We snowboard and ski at Snow-bowl which was pretty convenient and great deal. Look forward for more future trips! Thanks for having us!

Cheryl2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

This is a very cozy cabin with a beautiful fireplace. It was the perfect mountain getaway for us and our dog. The only thing to note is that there is little to no cell service at the cabin, however the wifi worked great. We look forward to planning another trip soon!

Laura2017-02-06T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Suzan's place for 4 nights and it was great! Suzan was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. The house itself is setback in a nice wooded area. It has a nice master bedroom and a loft with a bed that is great for 2 couples, a small family or just a small group of friends. The kitchen is fully stocked and very clean. Suzan lives on site in her own cabin but left us to ourselves unless we needed something which was really nice. We went to squaw valley for 2 of the days we were there. We left at 7:30am and was on the mountain by 8:15am so even though it's not in Tahoe proper it was still close enough to still get good round of snowboarding in. Additionally the last day we were there some weather was pushing through but because we were on the west side of the peak we didn't have to deal with the traffic and slowdowns that normally happens over the peak. Thanks Suzan!

Jordan2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

Susan warmly greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. It was nice to have tea in the cupboard and all the dishes/cookware we needed in the kitchen. We stayed over Christmas and the cottage was decorated with lights outside with a lit wreath on the barn in the courtyard. Plenty of firewood.

Brad2016-12-26T00:00:00Z

Suzan was the most gracious host we have encountered. She greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour, telling us where everything was and saying she would be available for anything we might need. It had snowed the previous night and the road was a bit difficult to navigate in our sedan, so Suzan offered to have her son work down the road to a more manageable level. She could not have been more accommodating. Her home was beautifully decorated for the winter season, the house was clean, had just about everything one would need, with wifi, modern appliances and beautifully decorated with pieces from local craftsmen and Suzan's own family. The grounds house a full size barn, a fire pit, and a clearing large enough for bonfires with tall pines all around. The outside was decorated with tiny, white fairly lights that play into the theme of the name. Close to the charming town of Dutch flats, this is the perfect place to travel when you want a bit of seclusion, but want to be close to Truckee, Tahoe City, or Sugarbowl resort. We will absolutely be back!

Brian2017-01-08T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing time and would love to keep Suzane's wonderful home a secret but others deserve to experience her wonderful hospitality. Thanks Suzane

Don2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

The perfect getaway! It was a winter wonderland! Suzan was the best host, good communication and very friendly. Will definitely be coming back.

Our home is an eclectic artists home! Only 30 minutes skiing and hiking at Boreal and Sugar Bowl. Our whole tiny town is a historical site and full of character. Dutch Flat has a community pool in the summer. The house is on a very quiet private street, stays cool in the summer and sleeping in is easy.

My house is very private and quiet yet not isolated.

The neighbors are friendly and very community minded. Historic Community center has a monthly potluck and Historic church has monthly breakfast. Post office and store have been operating since 1856.

My boyfriend and I had a great time staying at Susie's! The place was very quiet and cozy. We had our own bedroom and bathroom in the upstairs area where the kitchen/ living room was, and Susie was downstairs in her apartment. She came to greet us but then let us be for the rest of our stay. It was a 45-minute drive from Sugarbowl mountain, so perfect for us. I would definitely stay here again!

Jenna2016-02-14T00:00:00Z

Sucie's home is very spacious, clean and cozy. It locates conveniently close to highway I80 while very quiet in this neat village. We had a very comfortable night in Sucie's home. Sucie is nice and considerate, and she had prepared specially for my 3-year-old son the picture books and drawing sets, which made him spend the evening happy and fun. We will be delighted to stay again next time.

Monica2016-02-15T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay. Just off the beaten path enough to add some peace and quiet, but still close enough to get back on the Highway to Tahoe. Ideal location in my opinion for skiing the next day. Susie was also very nice and understanding when we were later than originally anticipated. Cheese sticks were also very appreciated.

Shevick2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

Susie was very kind to welcome us at the door even though we were late in the evening getting to the place. She had arranged for the breakfast items - bread, butter, milk, juice, eggs, etc so we were able to have breakfast before leaving for the slopes for snowboarding. Susie made sure that were comfortable and had everything we needed, and the place is very warm, and cozy. Bed was comfortable. Susie is a really wonderful artist and her work is on display in the room. Gives the place great character. Certainly would like to return back. Thanks Susie!

m2016-03-21T00:00:00Z

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Susie's home! It was the perfect spot for a quick ski getaway -- close to the skiing but tucked away in a quiet little mountain town with a killer sunset view. The home itself is gorgeous, and we had the whole upstairs to ourselves, to include the well-equipped kitchen. Susie was super friendly -- we had a fantastic time and would love to return someday!

Eric2016-02-22T00:00:00Z

Had a short but great stay at Susie & Ross's! We arrived late at night but Ross was so kind to open up and explain their place to us. He even offered us breakfast! Communication with the two was seamless; the room comfy, everything very clean and tidy... Would absolutely recommend!

Moritz2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

This place is quite, cute, tidy, a great nights sleep and all with a great hostess. Highly recommended if you find yourself in need of a place to stay in this part of the state. Couldn't have asked for more.

My home is snuggled in the Sierra foothills. It is a wonderful place to come and listen to the wind in the trees, take hikes, and visit old Gold Country haunts. All 4 seasons are spectacular with their own experiences. This is perfect for a weekend or lengthy stay.

Serenity Central is unique because it is one mile off I 80, near a main road, but totally immersed in cedars and oaks and has the atmosphere of rest and healing. It is a place to regroup, have quiet sorties, and hike for miles in all seasons. It's also close enough to ski, alpine or downhill, raft, and just plain chill.
Reno and Lake Tahoe are up the hill and Sacramento is down the hill, if you must. And as for Gold Country, we are in the very center of it.

The neighborhood is quiet, with a few barking dogs in the distance. People are friendly but private. There is a true sense of privacy.

The host canceled this reservation 48 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Morgan2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

My family and I were looking for a mountain stay that was close enough to the Truckee/Tahoe area. Luck for us, we found this fabulous place in the very small Gold Rush town of Dutch Flat. It was everything we had hoped it to be, a place to unwind and relax. Contact with Geri was very easy. Although we did not meet during our stay she went out of her way to give us instructions for arriving, departing and gave us suggestions to explore the town. We were here for a President's Day weekend snow trip. There was no snow at Dutch Flats (missed out on that), but snow are not far from us. The late afternoon's and evenings were spent here. Enjoyed having breakfast and dinners and loved that the TV was not hooked to cable (we are fellow cord-cutters). The TV's did have Netflix, YouTube and Pandora plus there is wifi for our devices. But, the TV was used mainly for music through Pandora. It rained all weekend and we missed out on walking around the wooded area. But there is something peaceful and enjoyable about staying indoors on winter days in the Sierra. Miss the place already and we want to return again. The only quirky part about the experience was having to pay extra for Airbnb taxes. Geri explained to me why that is, but I was still not completely sure on the reasoning. Don't let that deter you, though, in selecting this place. I highly recommend staying at Serenity Central.

Walking distance to trailhead to the river lakesfor swimming or kaya just a few short minutes away please keep in mind this is a rule area and secluded 1 mile of dirt road very passable with two wheel drive car

Wonderful, quiet and peaceful getaway with a gorgeous mountain view to wake up to. Sandy is a fantastic host and would recommend her cabin to anyone looking for a secluded and cozy getaway.

Joshua2017-05-18T00:00:00Z

This cabin was the perfect getaway. It was very private yet Sandy was accessible. The cabin was immersed in the forest with great views of lovers leap and beyond. The cozy feel guaranteed it's tranquility, while the WiFi offered gave us entertainment enough to relax while still being unplugged. The fridge, heater and open windows allowed for a relaxing and refreshing trip. I would love to return! I would recommend to everyone!

Jeremy2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

A gem in the forest. Sandy's cabin is perfect for the traveller seeking solitude and comfort, and is the perfect balance of feeling rustic and cozy, but still modern and convenient. And the view is absolutely gorgeous. Access is easy from 80, via a winding road that starts paved and ends as a dirt road. Any car should be ok if you drive slowly and carefully. Sandy was great with communication, and even gave us a call a few days prior to our stay to warn us of a winter storm that could have given us trouble.

Brian2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

The cabin was great, and the view is unbeatable! Sandy and Gordon were both kind and very welcoming. We loved our stay!

Sean2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

Our stay was great! The cabin was a perfect, cozy getaway. Really comfortable bed and cute deck. Sunrise was amazing. Gordon and Sandy gave us great directions to hiking and water fun in the area. We even ended up going out on Spaulding Lake with Gordon and Isabella one day it was great fun! Overall, the family helped make our stay wonderful but also gave us all the privacy we needed. We (my boyfriend and I) would definitely stay here again.

sheela2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Sandy's cabin is so cool, such a nice and cozy spot! My girlfriend and I came up here to get away for the weekend and it was perfect, so serene and in such a beautiful spot. Sandy was super helpful and communicative and made it really easy for us to find the place which is a little off the beaten path. Also there were so many great snacks in the cabin. Thanks for the cheetohs!

Ian2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

A very cozy private cabin with a beautiful view. Sandy provided all the essentials and some nice extras.

Kathleen2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

Place is so gorgeous. Owners are very nice and friendly. This is full B&B. It was so nice to find cool drinks in cooler after long day of hike. I would like to visit this place again. Thank you so much for so warm reception.

There is a SPA, hammocks, ping pong, local hiking, basketball hoop, horseshoes, board games, movies, large deck, outdoor shower and a fire pit
.

Quiet, Private, no close neighbors, local hiking to American River and very cool old gold mining area. Easy access to I-80 (only 6 minutes) but you will not hear any highway or train noise. Close to Bear River, the American River and Rollins Lake.

Diane's place was really great! We had no problem fitting our small group in the lodge, but there were plenty of beds, and pull out beds in the closet for more people. Everything you could have possibly needed was provided. Overall a great place to stay!

Mandy2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

We had a great time staying at Gold Run. The location is quiet and in the woods. There are hiking trails nearby, and all in all a great place for an escape from the city. We were very tickled by the fact that there were robes hanging in the bedrooms for maximum lounging capability. Kitchen had everything necessary to cook several meals. While we were a party of four, the house had plenty of capacity and extra beds tucked in every corner for more people. Diane was a warm and gracious host with clear instructions for everything posted around the house. Success!

Kelsie2015-02-17T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely time at the Gold Run House over Thanksgiving weekend. The cabin is spacious yet feels cozy, and the forest all around makes you feel quite secluded. I was impressed with the cabin's size and the feel of its decor and aesthetic. We loved exploring the hiking trails just up the road and the walking tour of historic Dutch Flat, a little further up the road! Even though it rained most of our second day, we had a great day watching old movies from Diane's collection, playing board games, and soaking in the tub while the rain fell around us. Diane made us feel very comfortable, answering all of our questions and making sure we had access to ample firewood to keep the place cozy. She was very accessible by text or by just walking up to her house nearby. There are two main bedrooms that are good-sized as well as an upstairs with several beds, so we were able to accommodate some friends who were passing through the area. The Wi-Fi was a bit spotty in the living room, but worked well in the game room and the master bedroom. Overall, I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a relaxing weekend with friends and/or family in a secluded mountain location!

Ari2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

Diane was an amazing hostess and my group and I had a really great time during our stay. The property is beautiful and cozy and Diane was super helpful in suggesting various places to go. I would definitely recommend staying here and would love to book with Diane again in the future.

Chandra2014-09-02T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Diane's cabin. Diane was a great host - explained everything about the house, was accessible when needed, but stayed out of the way otherwise. The cabin is very well located - very close to the I-80, yet very quiet and private. There are great hiking trails starting almost from the house (the walk down to American Canyon is strenuous but highly recommended), and the house has lots of activities for families: a ping pong table, a basketball hoop, a badminton court, an outdoor hot tub, games and more. The house is a bit old, but still charming. It is spacious, clean, and well appointed. Overall, highly recommended for a family or two to share.

Our wonderful new vacation home lies in-between Nevada City (Yuba River) and Tahoe, making day trip adventures endless! The Grand Cabin is not only beautifully furnished but has custom made areas like the lovely kitchen! We have this large we built for parties/ workshops/ seminars

Newly, carefully selected, and beautifully furnished everywhere. Custom made kitchen that we adore! Beautiful paintings! Great Living space, family room, dining room, game room, and three bedrooms so bring a friend! Alta fits 8 people ideally, but we have brought much more. With so many extra spaces, and matresses, just ask if you'd like to host more!

Although our second home in Alta isn't far from two wonderful locations, it lies a good distance from the highway and is a retreat in some sorts. We love waking up to the sound of the wind and the birds chirping, rather than motor bikes and trucks. Although you don't get a neighborhood feel in Alta, you get something even more special. Remote location. No neighbors whatsoever, just trees, and the land on the property is open, 9 acres, so you don't feel overwhelm by the forest and there is a wonderful view from the deck into the distance.

Great house, quiet environment. We enjoy the stay at this wonderful place.

Chia-Hui2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

It was very last minute to book here, but the host, Olivier responded quick and detail and made the booking faster and easier, which matters to my group a lot. The place is great. It's only 30-40 min away from Lake Tahoe, has enough rooms to fit at least 8 people, quiet neighborhood, with beautiful views. My friends and I are planning to stay here again in winter!! :)

Nicole2015-05-25T00:00:00Z

Very comfortable and private house. Olivier has been great, and sunsets off the deck are lovely.

Fkir2015-09-27T00:00:00Z

Agree with another guest that this place is ideal for making short day trips to ski resorts and Tahoe/Reno, while allowing you to get a jump on the traffic heading back to the Bay Area. House is secluded, but easy to get to from I-80. Plenty of space to enjoy a family meal or enjoy other activities. Also plenty of room to lay out your own sleeping bags for children if you brought them. Major appliances in good shape. Did not have time to use jacuzzi tub, but that looked clean. Lots of movies/books/games to keep you entertained. Would definitely come back!

Rita2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

Oliver made our stay easy. The neighborhood is very secluded. The wedding we attended was next door, but you could not see or hear anything from either house. The house is very nice and comfortable. We would definitely love to return and explore the area.

Brenda2015-09-13T00:00:00Z

Place is fantastic ! Description is on point ! The house is the perfect mountain retreat , close to the lakes and only 40 mins from Nevada city. House is huge ! Lots and lots of room ! Very clean and classy - Recommend to everyone!

Olivia2015-06-07T00:00:00Z

my family wanted to stay longer. The place is much better than in pictures. house surpasses expectations, very clean and welcoming place. Recommended if you like the quiet of nature. Amazing place and amazing house

Veronica2015-08-09T00:00:00Z

The place is great. Very quiet and secluded. The house was clean and in great shape for us. We had three adults and 4 kids under 4 and the place was good for our needs with a small amount of maneuvering of furniture to block the several sets of stairs. Comfy beds and fresh linens were very nice. Would stay again in a second. Host was very responsive and kind. Can't ask for much more.

You will be staying in a cottage which was handcrafted by my husband and I. The kitchen is designed and outfitted with the gourmet in mind. If you need that a specific kitchen gadget, it is likely that we have it in the main home kitchen. Just ask.
The bedroom has a queen size bed with a loft with an additional queen futon with thick mattress top that will sleep two adults. Flooring is tile and hardwood. There is a large walk-in shower and enough storage to make your extended stay feel like home.
There is a washer and dryer with soap for the post mountain-bike-adventure laundry.
In the summertime, you can open every window and door to let the cool fresh mountain air pour in. In winter, the cottage is heated by a wood burning stove (wood provided) with a gas wall heater for back up.

You will be joining us in a four season outdoor adventure paradise. Whatever the season, you will find world class venues to play in. Winter: World class downhill/crosscountry skiing and snowboarding are 25 minutes away. Another 15 minutes takes you to Squaw Valley resort for iceskating, Olympic level skiing and a winter swim. On your way to Squaw, stop in Truckee for dining and unique shopping in Old Town. Take your morning brew at the wonderful Coffee Bar.
Summer: Lakes, rivers, 10/10 hiking trails, mountain biking, kayak and paddle board rentals and a local community pool are all a few minutes away. (We kayak.... Kayaking is 12 minutes up 80 to Lake Valley Reservoir and Donner Lake is 30 minutes. Hiking to Salmon Lake or Loch Leven Lakes also right up the road.) Head for Lake Tahoe for its heart-stopping deep-blue beauty. The Tahoe area presents you with a myriad of water activities. Shopping and every level of dining are available.
Head off to Nevada City, a haven of arts, music venues, farm to fork restaurants and unique shopping. This mining town has retained its original character and is a wonderful place to spend a day. If you go, ask me how to find the local's secret hand-crafted ice cream shop.
We have lived here for 25+ years and have extensive knowledge of the area. We are happy to help in planning your days in our beautiful part of the world.
If you like, you can just spend a day or a month at the cottage, on a retreat or just a time out. I have hosted writers, musicians, composers and people who just need some creative down time. There is a grand piano in the main house for professional musicians needing practice time.

Janine is a great host! She is super nice and responsive. She accepted my request within a min, seriously, within a minute. I told her we were here to do some hiking and she gave us great recommendations. She even printed out how to get there and the description of the trail and left it at the door! She also told us where to get groceries on our way to the cottage (there is no close ones). Before we arrived, she told me they had fresh eggs, milk and orange juice in the fridge. There are also granola, cereal, raisin, spaghetti, all kinds of tea in the house. Her cottage is lovely. We enjoyed staying there! And we definitely will be back!

ruiqi2015-05-19T00:00:00Z

Janine was an incredible host. Her scones were incredible and she also left us cereal, eggs, milk and juice for breakfast. The cabin was so quaint and comfortable and we loved the seclusion. She also left us homemade fire starters and tons of wood to keep a fire going all night. Our 4 year old and 2 year old loved the loft (parents were nervous about the ladder) and running around in the woods. The cottage is perfect for a small family or a couple and I would recommend it and even stay there again.

Scott2014-12-31T00:00:00Z

Janine was an incredible host! She left us a wonderful suite of breakfast foods and beverages and even a HUGE bone for my dog. She kindly alerted us when the weather wasn't looking good for the weekend and helped us restructure our hiking plans so we could still have an awesome weekend. She was extremely helpful in providing detailed directions to the cabin as well as recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. The cabin itself was even better than I imagined - you can tell it is really well designed and built and is on a beautiful wooded lot. It's an easy drive to hiking either in Auburn area or up towards Tahoe and you can even do some hiking from the cabin itself.

Kay2015-04-27T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful getaway!!! The cottage is ADORABLE! Very cozy and well stocked. Janine had a warm fire built for is when we showed up and very tasty homemade cinnamon apple scones. We had a short stay and didnt get to take full advantage of the snowsoes and flashlights but will definitely return. Thank you so much for your hospitality! It was a grtaway that hit the spot!!!

Ashley2014-12-15T00:00:00Z

We had to book a last minute reservation with Janine because our other reservation was double booked so we needed a place to stay for one night, and we couldn't have picked a better place and host to accommodate us. The cottage is really quaint with a warm feel inside. Janine and her husband were amazing people and will definitely consider staying there again when I'm in the Tahoe area.

Marcus 2014-12-20T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic time here. Janine and her husband went above and beyond what was expected of amazing hosts. They were so accommodating and provided us with things we didn't even know we needed before having to even ask. At the last minute they even allowed me to bring my little puppy and my friend to bring her cat...but that is not all, they asked if my friend needed a litter box for her cat so she would not have to bring one. The house is absolutely amazing. It is immaculate and beautiful. Janine and her husband built it themselves over 30 years. It has beautiful wood, and stone, a fireplace, a beautiful kitchen, big screen tv with tons of movie options, etc. The pictures do not do it justice at all. It is private and adorable. Janine and her husband provide cereal and fresh baked scones or something that was very good. They have everything you could think of , and even ask that you leave them a note suggesting what else might be good for them to have. It is lovely in every way and such an amazing steal for the price. We will definitely be coming back here. Thank you so much Janine and Ken!

Danielle2015-01-12T00:00:00Z

This cottage was amazing. I booked it for my fiance for new years. Janine is one of the best people I have come across on Airbnb. She replied immediately to my email inquiring about the house and even offered to have a surprise bottle of wine and desserts ready for my fiance when we walked in the door. The cottage was very cozy, with a cute little fire place and an awesome open kitchen. When I asked if they had a DVD player, Janine told me they did not, but within hours she and her husband had set up a flat screen, a DVD player, and an array of classic DVD's for us to peruse. If you want an nice secluded getaway with a loved one, or even just a getaway with the kids I highly recommend this cottage. I honestly can't say enough about the terrific hospitality we received. Definitely going back sometime!

My husband, our dog and I truly enjoyed our long weekend at the Sweet Sierra Mountain Cottage. Janine's cottage is in the middle of the mountains and a short drive to breathtaking views. As she prepped us in advance, there isn't many nearby options for food, so we went shopping before arriving and had everything we needed to cook. For breakfast, she left us cereal and eggs, which was very appreciated. We'd definitely love to come back.

With easy access from I-80 along a private country road, the Fool's Gold Cabin is just over two hours from the Bay Area.

Situated above the snow line at an elevation of 5,000 feet, there is a beautiful mix of deciduous and evergreen trees and not a neighbor in site. If you're looking for peace and privacy, this is the place for you.
*
With a large common space inside, two bedrooms and one bathroom, the two-story 1,100 square foot cabin is ideal for a family - or 1-2 couples - to get away and relax! The cabin has contemporary furnishings and every room has charming wood floors that were made of reclaimed bleachers from the San Francisco State University basketball arena (compliments of the Wooden Duck in Berkeley). Enjoy a good book while relaxing on a leather couch with a fire raging in the large, stone fireplace with an old-school Lopi wood-burning insert (firewood provided). With 60GB of music on the iPod provided - or on the device you bring - you can easily rock out to the indoor and outdoor sound system.
*
There is an upstairs bedroom with a California King bed and a downstairs bedroom with two bunk beds (so, four twin beds). The cabin sleeps 6 most comfortably. Bedding is provided (sheets, towels and extra pillows too). There is also a hi-end, large capacity washer and dryer (with hypo-allegnic settings too!).
*
The Fool's Gold Cabin has a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of seating - on the deck, or at the hand-crafted dining table (which features a topographical map of the wilderness area surrounding the cabin). There is ample room in the stainless steel refridgerator and pantry for all the groceries you bring. The Sierra Market in Colfax is the nearest full-scale grocery store, but there are also some Mom-and-Pop markets in nearby historic Dutch Flat or in Alta for some of the more basic needs. With the 5-burner, 40" stainless steel stove and oven (including a convection oven), you can prepare a wonderful meal that can be enjoyed on the spacious deck with teak furniture. We also have an outdoor picnic table for year-around seating when the furniture is in winter storage. It also serves as a year-around ping pong table. There are too many appliances to list (microwave, toaster, coffee maker, etc) but the kitchen is well-equipped for most every need. There are even home-made S'more Sticks so you can sit around the campfire at night and enjoy the clear, mountain sky. What's the point of nature if you don't have s'mores?
*
The Fool's Gold Cabin offers plenty of outdoor activity as well. In addition to the multitude of activities and events that are available in the area, our ten acre back yard has wonderful trails through scenic, private woods. There is plenty of open space for kids to run and play while you enjoy the views from a spacious deck. There is lots of fun for small kids, big kids and adults who want to act like kids.
*
SOMETIMES, YOU DESERVE YOUR OWN TEN-ACRE MOUNTAIN ESTATE.
*
If you like to be away from noisy crowds, see the night sky clearly, play in private woods, converse around campfires and dine against the backdrop of the Sierra... the Fool's Gold Cabin is the place for you!

The area around the cabin was the site of the most prolific gold mining activity during the 1800's. It's historic sites offer museums, Malakoff Diggins State Park and charming historical districts of Nevada City and Grass Valley for shopping and antiquing.
The region offers great skiing, hiking, wineries, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking, golf, tennis, sailing, fishing and more. There are cultural / musical festivals all year long at the Nevada County Fairgrounds and during the winter season, Grass Valley hosts Cornish Christmas and Nevada City offers Victorian Christmas festivals. Truckee offers a Brew Fest, Renaissance Faire, Rodeo and other fun events.

Our stay at Fool's Gold Cabin was exactly the getaway we were hoping for. It was a wonderfully rustic experience with all the modern conveniences of home, and the cabin was located close enough for a mid week escape, but far enough away to feel like a real vacation. The property itself was extremely charming-from the old gate at its entrance to the wood burning fireplace and old trail maps on the wall. It feels like you're all alone in the wilderness, but to our relief it also had central heat and enough cell reception for our 4g hotspot. We arrived in the late afternoon, after speaking with Tj and Siobhan who kindly informed us of a few last minute details, and spent the evening cooking dinner and admiring the tree covered mountains off the back deck as the sun slowly went dow. We had everything we needed to cook a three course meal, and after dark we enjoyed ourselves by the fire while listening to music on the built in sound system. We were amazed by how well equiped the cabin was, with all new kitchen appliances, a washer and dryer, and a large bath and shower, we definitely weren't roughing it. The cabin is beautifully decorated, and although we only used the master, there was plenty of additional room to entertain a whole family or a group of friends. The next morning we decided to dine out and enjoyed breakfast at the Monte Vista Inn in Dutch Flat, which was filled with local character. That day we had time to explore the property more and between the hike to the train tracks in the distance, the zip line, and the outdoor firepit we were already planning our trip back with friends. We are extremely happy we found this gem, and hope to visit again soon. They were very friendly and we felt as though if we had any questions they would be more than happy to assist. We recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a getaway and wants to enjoy the beautiful and scenic tahoe area.

Our entire family enjoyed this home and surrounding area. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and we enjoyed some quiet "get-away" time all together! Would definitely go back.

Justin2016-11-23T00:00:00Z

Tj and Siobhan have a great place with amazing attention to detail and amenities. The neighbor checked in on us and gave us some great pointers, we walked the property and trails, sat on the amazing deck a lot of the time, barbecued for dinners, used the speaker system which was an amazing tv replacement, sat inside and listened to podcasts, read a lot, and generally had a great time. All of the institutions and the guidebook were very helpful and comforting. Helped us not miss a beat or have to think very hard at all! Thank you again for providing your home for visitors like us it was a great trip and I would do it again!

Angela2016-04-21T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Tj and Siobhan's cabin exceeded our expectations. Everything this was as described and it was great to enjoy the seclusion that the cabin offered. Fortunately, access was not an issue as there was not any snow to drive through. They were very responsive to our questions and seemed very nice although we did not have a chance to meet them. For some it would be good to know that the bedroom with the king size bed was extremely comfortable, but for those who want access to the bathroom in the middle of the night, it is located on the first floor. The bedroom with the bunks is the one right next to the bathroom. This minor inconvenience (it is a cabin afterall!) was far outweighed by all of the other amenities available. We would definitely book here again without hesitation. One note, when hiking down to the railroad tracks, pay close attention so you can find you way back : ) Wish we could have stayed longer, but appreciated the opportunity to celebrate and cook an early Thanksgiving dinner with my friend's daughter and her boyfriend who attend college in Tahoe.

Suzanne2014-11-24T00:00:00Z

A magical place - a fantastic little house in a wonderful, peaceful setting but handy for the bay area. There's great walking in the area - make sure to scramble down to the rail lines to check out the freight trains and flatten a few quarters! Also convenient for Emigrant falls where we spent most of the weekend - if you like wild swimming there's nowhere better. Loads of room for a family of 6 and great amenities (deck, lawn, firepit) for just hanging out while the sun goes down and waiting for the spectacular night sky to come out. The interior is lovely too (great cooking facilities) but we didn't spend much time in it! Hosts could not have been more helpful. A pleasure to deal with all round.

Tom2014-07-28T00:00:00Z

What an amazing, relaxing weekend we had! All the guests loved the custom finishes, the view and the privacy. It was the perfect spot for a snow weekend getaway for moms and kids. Cozy cabin with tons of activities to enjoy; from building snowmen or taking a short trip to go tubing on the summit to completing puzzles and building with snap circuits inside (parents know how cool that is!). There were so many thoughtful touches. We enjoyed the books left out about refinishing the place and one about tiny houses. We also definitely appreciated the high tech tools like the iPad for info about our stay and the iPod loaded with excellent music! The kids loved the welcome chocolates that were left for our arrival. We had a fantastic time and are already planning a summer trip back at Fool's Gold!

Sarah2016-02-28T00:00:00Z

We were blown away by Tj & Siobhan and their hospitality, communication and things they did to make our stay feel like home away from home. Prior to, during and post our stay, they were so responsive. We were pleasantly surprised by snow (late May) and they made sure we entered the cabin with the furnace already on. They also made sure we had extra firewood on hand. You can tell that the cabin is a labor of love. The craftsmanship of the home made for a very welcome and clean stay. I loved the heated floor in the bathroom and iPod songs that play through built in ceiling speakers. Every little detail was thought of to make sure you had everything you needed to be surrounded by serenity and privacy. The doors to the back of the house open so you can have an endless view of the forest. There were so many things you can do on the 10 acres. Hiking, treehouse, indoor and outdoor fireplace/pits, ping pong, horseshoe, you name it. We brought our dogs and they loved running around the open field. Incredible views of Tahoe National Forest as well. We definitely have this on our dream destination for the future as it was truly heavenly.

Melissa2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

My wife and I opened the door and were amazed by the intelligence and thoughtfulness that went into the building of this outdoor oasis. My wife and I appreciated the environmental resourcefulness that went into the floor which was made with salvaged wood from some other structure as was evident in the letters engrained into the wood. We loved the interior decorations and the cleanliness of this place. Morning coffee on the back deck at sunrise was a real treat. Anytime we emailed the host we received instant communication. They have poured their soul's into this cabin and it really shows.

Beautiful, secluded (and private!) cabin on 67 acres bordering Tahoe National Forest with panoramic views. Furnished with high-end one of a kind items & modern accents. Feels like an elegantly staged home.
Full kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances, living room and bathroom downstairs.
Loft-style open bedroom design with abundance of large windows in every wall to allow natural light and connect with nature outside.
Sleeps up to 7 or two couples in separate spaces. Sleeping arrangements could be as follow: 2 persons Cal-King bed upstairs, 2 persons downstairs on pull out sofa + 2 persons mattress upstairs + 1 person pullout bed/ottoman downstairs.
The deck, which can comfortably accommodate a dozen or more people, is situated near a cliff on the property that captures amazing views of the Sierras and Tahoe National Forest. At times you will hear a train from distance, be sure to grab your loved ones and run to the deck to see train going through the tunnel which is about 200 feet. It is an exciting experience if you have little ones with you.
This cabin offers a true get-away from life's stresses. There is deliberately no cable or TV and no internet or Wi-Fi service. :) However, cell-phones still have service. In our experience, there is a strong 4G signal for both AT&T and Verizon cellular.

The private & tranquil 67 acres will help relax and distance yourself from busy & fast paced life in an instant. Ideal for romantic getaways, family vacations and more.

Really beautiful home and landscape. The panoramic view was breath taking. We were there before and after a snowstorm and the view afterwards was absolutely divine. There isn't any wifi but there is relatively good cell service for the altitude (I had 3/4 bars on AT&T). Only drawback was the sleeping situation. There was one giant Cal king bed, but the other bed was just a mattress on the ground. We were expecting at least a rollaway. There's also a sofabed, but not nearly as comfortable as the mattress.

Winny2016-02-01T00:00:00Z

The privacy and beauty of the place can't be beat. The cabin was well kept up and a pleasure to stay in.

peter2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay on this beautiful property. Pictures can't do the place justice. The luxury cabin was well appointed and you could tell a lot of quality workmanship went into the building. The view from the observation deck was breathtaking during the day and great for star gazing at night. Glad we brought our zero gravity lounge chairs to take full advantage of it. The property was private and quiet, but not too far off from the freeway. Colfax was a good 30 min away for any food or provisions so be prepared. David was an attentive host.

Garrett and Renee2015-08-24T00:00:00Z

David was very responsive, he booked our stay just hours before we got to town. The house was clean, and matched the description perfectly. The overlook deck was far more beautiful than it looks in the pictures. I will definitely be booking another stay at this beautiful cabin again soon.

Walker2015-09-29T00:00:00Z

Such a great place to stay, beautiful view and amenities. Our group was very pleased and would definitely use this AirBnB again! Recommended for any vacation. Thank you!

todd2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

This place is easily the best value over price on airbnb (and definitely the top one amount the ones we have visited). It will be an experience to remember for life for anyone who has the pleasure to stay here. We will return every year when possible.

Brian2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

What a gem! We just stayed here for the July 4th weekend and had a blast. The views from the observation deck were absolutely stunning and the cabin was clean and accommodating to all our needs. The listing does not do justice for the amazing views or the cozy and relaxing feel of this place. The host even left us a bottle of wine and a ton of food/drinks in the fridge. Highly recommended!

Jessi2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

This house and view is right out of a designer magazine. Very modern house and a priceless view. The house was clean and beautiful decorated. David was always responsive when we had a question. Here just a few tips: The house has no to very little WiFi. Bring games. This is a perfect adult retreat, I would not recommend it for big families with small children. More than 4 persons and it gets a little crowded and bring paper plates if you do not like to do dishes. It is super romantic and peaceful. You will fall in love with the view. It is very seldom that one gets the chance to stay in such a wonderful house with that kind of picturesque setting.
